Hicksbeachia pilosa is a small tree in the family Proteaceae.[4] This rare species is endemic to the rainforests of the wet tropics region of northeastern Queensland, Australia.[5] It was first described in 1988 by Australian botanist Peter H. Weston, after a collection by Garry Sankowsky and Peter Hind in 1986 at Bobbin Bobbin Falls in North Queensland.[4][2] Its specific name is the Latin adjective pilosus "hairy".
Hicksbeachia pilosa is found in rainforest from the Big Tableland to the Cardwell Range in northeastern Queensland.
